Beautiful Neverland Tea Salon Neverland treats Maz at Neverland Tea Salon Neverland Tea_chocolate coconut If you know me well, you’ll know that I am a huge lover of tea. Consuming approximately four cups a day is no challenge for me, more a habit. My family are Irish so of course I was always going to be a big tea drinker but I would say it’s only been in the last couple of months that I have weaned myself off simply drinking English or Irish breakfast tea and have tried sampling some of those other lovely herbal remedies. Last week with my friend Maz visiting, I wanted to find someone lovely to go and have a good catch up and I stumbled across the most perfect place on West Broadway called Neverland Tea Salon. Started up by long-term friends Terri Tatchell and Renee Iaci, Neverland is a beautiful tea shop, inspired by the legendary novel Peter Pan. Decadent, quaint and magical, quotes from Peter Pan are decorated across the walls, fine china is used and 20th century chairs are decked around in different places around the tearoom. The bar on the right with pastries on show is the first thing that catches your eye as you walk through the doors as well as the gorgeous little honey pots placed on each table. Maz and I actually made two trips to Neverland in the time she was here and both were so lovely. We actually booked it the first time because we wanted to go for dessert but thought it would be sensible to order something savoury first. I opted for the Kale Chicken Caesar salad with the Shelley tea infused cocktail consisting of peaches and dreams white tea, vanilla vodka and lillet. Maz opted for the apple cheddar sandwich with aged cheddar, sliced granny smith apples, lettuce and house made apply chutney served with lightly toasted multigrain bread and the Aynsley, a tea cocktail made using wild strawberry green tea, blueberry vodka and Chambord.

Cerebral Palsy Association of BCScotiabank Charity ChallengeYesterday was an eventful and beautiful day despite having less than 5 hours sleep. I started it by cycling down to Stanley park where the Scotiabank charity challenge, where you could choose to run or walk 5k or a half marathon, was taking place. For those who were running the half marathon, their morning had already began at 7am and some of them were near crossing the finishing line by the time I arrived at the charity village to help the Cerebral Palsy association of BC with their booth for the morning. The Cerebral Palsy association is a wonderful charity in Vancouver that is committed to making a life without limits for people with disabilities. Set up in 1954 the charity works to  raise awareness of cerebral palsy in the community, assists individuals living with cerebral palsy to reach their maximum potential and does this in many ways ranging from fundraisers, implementing programs and events. The executive director of the charity, Feri, and a few of her colleagues were taking part in the event, some doing the 5k and some doing the half marathon so I was there to help man the stand and cheer them on. There’s always such an incredible atmosphere at charity runs and yesterday was no exception. There was food in abundance for the runners ranging from liberty yoghurts, bananas, cookies, power bars, smoothies and so many charities were taking place. It was really nice to take some time and walk around the other stalls to see the other charities that were involved in the event. Continue reading →
